The comedian playing him could take the seat. Look up H’Angus the Monkey, former mayor of Hartlepool.

Especially someone who typos.

WIth the terrible safety record of cars, that may be more likely than you think.

The browser fussiness can still be an issue, though, unless it’s a really small forum not wanting new users. You don’t see the users who get doorslams.

The vote was said to be advisory, but after the vote, the new and subsequent governments acted like it was binding.

More importantly, the EU should not respect votes that strip other people of their citizenship against their will. We’ve seen who else did that, and the EU should oppose them all, every time.

37 million didn’t leave voluntarily, but the EU abandoned us.

But you’re right to imply it’s stupid for those who took us out to complain that we’re now rule-takers not rule-makers. We blooming well told them this would be the result.

Yeah, wants Firefox not a more cotrollable fork, spits its dummy out at certain adblocker settings, doesn’t like privacy lists loaded into chromium, and so on. It seems fussy, probably because it’s quite snoopy and sends tracking info back to the server as you read posts.

Thanks but no. I use it on another forum but it is rather fussy about which browser you use.

Which platform, please?

Why haven’t more added ActivityPub & joined the fediverse or threadiverse?

Warning about sexual harrassment just isn’t something the owners of AI bots want them to do.

Is AC adaptation or just moving the problem around and making it worse?

Websites that require javascripting to even display also waste energy and heat the world.

REcaptcha isn’t a captcha. It’s an audiovisual skills test that robots can pass & many humans can’t.

Most people don’t understand economics or international trade, so weren’t equipped to spot the lies. They’re not especially dumb. They’d just had about 40 years of trade barriers being removed and things getting ever easier, without much idea how it was elsewhere. Some Leave campaigners realised this and exploited it, aided by some journalists who prefer to have years of juicy bad news than a functioning country. Of course, some Remain campaigners tried to explain it, but Leave just flat denied it, lied and sometimes shot the messenger (“people have had enough of experts”).

But eventually, reality gets more and more difficult to deny.

If the house is bad, all heating is more expensive.

Wow. Gold pipes? Difficult house?

The only disinformation is thinking that renewables are ready to be a drop in substitute for oil and gas.

That’ll be why nobody is saying that then. They’re a useful replacement, not a substitute.

They are usefull, no doubt, but we need to solve the problem of storing all the surplus they generated.

All of it? Really? And we don’t need to solve this before deploying lots more to replace the burning fossils. We didn’t wait to solve all the problems with burning fossils before deploying them. We’ve never solved many of the pollution problems, which is part of the reason we have so many problems now!

No, the racists & xenophobes still don’t want to even work with the EU. They now want to quit the Treaty of London & the Council of Europe so they can leave the ECHR and torture some foreigners without the courts mentioning human rights and stopping them. Possibly pesky protestors too.

What’s changed is the people who thought the financial arguments could be true, or believed Leave campaigners saying “nobody is talking about leaving the customs union”, now know for sure that was all rubbish and only the hedge funds and similar gamblers won, while ordinary people get to pay more customs duty on things bought from abroad and stand in longer passport queues. And they can see “Five-million Farage” is now trying to stuff them again with cryptocurrencies.

The British public is sorely confused: two thirds say Brexit was a mistake, but the polls favor Reform UK, the party that single-brain-cell-ly pushed for Brexit in the first place.

The polls only show about a third for RUK, which is roughly consistent with two-thirds believing Brexit was a mistake.

But the big problem is the UK uses an old-fashioned non-proportional voting system where a third can give a party a landslide, like Starmer’s landslide getting 63% of MPs from 33% of votes. That combines with the confrontational face-off style of the Parliament to push UK Prime Ministers to be dividers, not uniters, to keep that crucial 30-40% core power base cheering for them. It feels like it’s been a decade since any even tried much to unite people.
